Good find!</p> <p>Would be great to have this as an option so that you can choose whether to display the field label or admin label in the form editing screen. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/admin-label-in-form-editor#post-18261 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 19:40:23 +0000 mikecimi 18261@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>In case anyone else is interested, all that needs to be changed is line 415 in form_detail.php. Change true to false<br /> <pre><code>[php] if(is_array($form[&quot;fields&quot;])) { require_once(GFCommon::get_base_path() . &quot;/form_display.php&quot;); foreach($form[&quot;fields&quot;] as $field){ echo GFFormDisplay::get_field($field, &quot;&quot;, false); //&lt;--- line 415 }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/admin-label-in-form-editor#post-18246 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:09:39 +0000 Carl Hancock 18246@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm not 100% sure what would need to be changed, you'd have to inspect the code that outputs the form builder. We don't support changes to the core code so I can't provide you with exact instructions as it's considered a customization. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/admin-label-in-form-editor#post-18244 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:08:05 +0000 mikecimi 18244@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there an easy way for me change this in the code? I know it would break when I update the plugin, but I'm ok with that.

Thats the form display. The Field Label is displayed there. The Admin Label is used in the other areas of the admin when viewing Entry data. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/admin-label-in-form-editor#post-18235 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 17:26:58 +0000 mikecimi 18235@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is what I was expecting "The Admin Label overrides the Field Label when the field is displayed in the admin." but it is not working. It is showing the normal field label instead. The admin label is showing up in the entry list page though. Maybe my understanding is wrong but if you look at this image <a href="http://blacklinepartners.com/gravity.gif" rel="nofollow">http://blacklinepartners.com/gravity.gif</a> I was expecting "warm fusion dates" to show up where is says "show date and location". </p> <p>Thanks again,<br /> -Mike </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/admin-label-in-form-editor#post-18232 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 17:18:30 +0000 Carl Hancock 18232@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The Admin Label overrides the Field Label when the field is displayed in the admin. </p> <p>This is primarily used in the Entry List page where you configure what columns are displayed. The Admin Label is used for the column header for that field. It is also useful when you want a blank Field Label such as when you have checkboxes that you want to appear without a field label. If you populate an Admin Label you can leave the Field Label blank on the front end while still having a label for that field in the admin.</p> <p>It is not shown on the form itself. It is used in situations where a label is necessary and either the Field Label is something really long or is left blank. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/admin-label-in-form-editor#post-18229 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 17:06:42 +0000 mikecimi 18229@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is the admin label supposed to show up in the form editor as the main field description? If not, is there a way to do this? I have a form with dropdown boxes using conditional logic. The first dropdown is class type (Algebra, English, etc) and then the next drop down populates with dates based on the class type. I have multiple date dropdowns all named the same for the user but cannot tell which is which in the admin without clicking on each one. Since this will change frequently, I was hoping to easily tell which field is which. I am using version 1.4.5.</p> <p>Thanks<br /> -Mike </p>
